suggests that strategies to reduce inflammation and damage in the central nervous system may help slow the progression of Parkinson’s. Antioxidants and exercise may be helpful and may also improve general health. Parkinson’s is a progressive disease that affects the basal ganglia of the brain, slowly damaging movement and muscle control and often leading to dementia.

However, it has unpleasant side effects and may eventually stop working. Cannabis products, including CBD oil, may help some people with Parkinson’s manage symptoms and reduce medication side effects. Research, however, has not proven that CBD oil works as a treatment method or that it is safe. People who want to try CBD should talk with a CBD-knowledgeable physician and start with a low dosage.

Hey everyone, Thank you for your responses. I started wondering about sleep tinctures because I got a free sample. During one night, I took less than the recommended dose and slept through the whole night. And then on another occasion, I took a full dose and didn’t notice a significant impact on my sleep.

And maybe this is an example of that. Hector, I got my Mom a hemp cream for Christmas. She suffers from arthritis and did notice a difference after using the cream. I’m glad to hear that CBD products are helping with relief. I wonder if consistency plays a part in effectiveness? .

Cannabidiol for Parkinson's disease symptom management

With the legalization of medical marijuana, many states are approving the use of it in a non-traditional way to treat the symptoms of certain conditions, including Parkinson’s disease. Marijuana has two major components to it—tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Both may help with nausea and muscle pain or spasms, but unlike THC, CBD doesn’t give you the “high” feeling marijuana is most commonly known for.

What’s more, is that because CBD is a natural compound from the Cannabis sativa plant, using it may also leave you side effect-free, unlike many prescription medications. Hero Images / Getty Images The body of research on using CBD for Parkinson’s disease symptoms is rapidly growing, as Parkinson’s disease affects 1% of the population over 60 years old.

Parts of the brain that produce dopamine, which is responsible for sending messages to the body in order to direct movement, become damaged or die. This results in tremors, muscle stiffness, the inability to use facial expressions, and trouble balancing. In connection with Parkinson’s disease as well as other movement-related disorders, CBD may help improve motor skills.

Since Parkinson’s disease can take some time to properly diagnose when the symptoms are already prevalent, using CBD once diagnosed may not offer much benefit. With early detection combined with the use of CBD together the possibility of reducing movement-related symptoms increases. Those dealing with Parkinson’s disease may also have trouble sleeping due to REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), a condition in which patients 'act out' their dreams while asleep.

In some cases, people suffering from Parkinson’s disease may also have symptoms of psychosis, ranging in hallucinations to vivid dreams and illusions. Research has found that CBD may be able to help. In research out of University of São Paulo in Brazil, patients were given a dose of CBD starting out at 150 milligrams (mg) per day in addition to their current treatment plan of therapy for four weeks.

This was however an older study and current clinical trial evidence to support the use of CBD is minimal. More research out of Brazil suggests CBD can improve the overall quality of life of those with Parkinson’s disease. In a sample of 21 patients, those who were treated with 75 mg to 300 mg of CBD per day reported a significant increase in quality of life, though no significant differences were noted in motor and general symptoms or neuroprotective effects.

Parkinson’s disease can impact cognitive function and memory, particularly in those whose symptoms progress to Parkinson’s disease dementia. Because of this, medical marijuana with both THC and CBD may not be recommended, as it can impair thinking and brain function even more so. CBD by itself may be a safer route.

By interacting with one or both of these receptors, CBD may delay tremor development as well as have protective neurological benefits. But as seen with the above studies, there is no uniform approach or conclusion on this treatment method. This means that patients may react differently to using CBD, some having tremendous success while others seeing little difference.
